I love and follow Jesus. I never really took following Him seriously until age 12, when God rocked my life with the Holy Spirit on a Sunday... a few days after my dad called to say he wouldn't be around anymore. God is awesome, and I trust Him; He always comes through!

Friendly Llama or Psychotic Woolly Creature?

20 years old

My interests include a lot of things Jesus related. (To cut down on the list.)
Piano. I'm a keyboardist/pianist for both my youth and Sunday worship teams.
Reading.
Video Games... Halo 1 on my PC, mostly, and actually nearly exclusively. I do play some Roller Coaster Tycoon too. I want an xbox 360, Halo 3, and great internet to play online with badly...
I'm a news hobbyist... reading news online is a near-daily activity.

More about me:

I'm introverted in real life, sanguine online. I'm a genuine guy, compassionate.... I try to be a nice guy I guess. Some might call me 'sweet' while I've also been called 'clingy'. To be self-depreciating, I'll admit I'm unassertive and lack some self-confidence...

I was homeschooled all of my pre-college education. I am going into my Junior year at Indiana State with no idea what I want to do for a career. However, I am considering Public Relations.

I'm generally a creative person, mostly shown through my writing.

Generally I fit the stereotype of clueless male, but nobody cares, and the ladies seem to think it's at the least funny. =P

Llamas: I have one llama, a lonely stud. His name is Oreo. He has never shown up in my avatar; I always find cuter ones online to put in. BUT... due to popular demand, here is a picture of him: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc9/twitchy_fingers/100_0164.jpg
Yes, I am the resident llama man, another alias I go by around here.

Question Section!

Here's where I give YOU a chance to know more about me (or my llama) by asking questions that can get featured in my extensive 'interests' section! How to do it? Leave a comment or send a PM, and if I like your question, I'll post it here with an answer!

(Selections shown are ordered newest to oldest.)

IrishLily: How long were you homeschooled for? Which program did you use and at what age did you graduate high school?
Answer: I was homeschooled for all of my pre-college education! I graduated high school at age 17, and turned 18 over the summer before I started college. My mother was a teacher, so she taught me most of the time. But I did use switched on schoolhouse for a few subjects, and I had a home school co-op that offered classes taught by parents who were experts in certain fields.

Anna: What is the purpose of eyebrows?
Answer: Long, long, ago, man had a pair of symbiont creatures much resembling wooly caterpillars. This symbiont creatures rested above the eye and served as an aide in communication skills, which helped the man better express his emotions and opinions to others. In return, the symbiont received nutrients from the man. At some point, the symbiont DNA was added to that of the man’s, and the resulting feature was called eyebrows. There are rumors that at night one’s eyebrows may crawl away on a brief excursion, perhaps to briefly rest in the moonlight like they once did. Their purpose today remains the same.

Anna: How much oak would a relatively strong woodchuck who does not own a logging company (but has a lovely home in Brazil where he chucks his wood), who must chuck his wood fifteen metres, and do as much as he can in three hours, chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
Answer: Hmm... a relatively strong woodchuck could chuck the typical piece of oak, weighing around 35 lbs, 15 meters or about 45 feet... about three times a minute, maybe four. Averaging out to seven times in two minutes. These are woodchucks, not men, mind you. Since he lives in luxury, we'll take the average of 3.5/minute and give him a rough bonus, bumping him to 3.6/minute. Gradually, he'll wear down over three hours time, though. So even though it comes out to 648 pieces of oak, we'll have to nudge that down to roughly.... 583 pieces, a ten percent total drop off of that.

inari: How much wood would a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
Answer: Firstly, it depends on how strong the woodchuck is. Chucking wood is serious business. Does he own a logging company? Is he chucking balsa or oak? And finally, where is he chucking the wood, and at what distance must he chuck it? Also, you failed to give me a set amount of time. All are variables.

Sk8erGuy92: If you had the chance to become a llama would you?
Answer: Looking at emperor Kuzco's experiences as a llama, I would admit that, while an exciting opportunity, I am not much for danger. Thus, I must sadly decline.

Rizel: I actually want to know the answer to this, Zach. When did you start liking llamas and why?
Answer: I started liking llamas when I worked on a ranch at about age 11. I worked for my first two llamas. Fate had it that they would never live long due to unfortunate events... heck, I even lost the first one on Christmas day, and the second one slipped on a muddy hill and died miscarrying her cria (baby llama) shortly thereafter. :(
But I still like llamas, because they're just... cool. Haha. My second llama was quite affectionate and it was easy to get attached to the species. I can't resist these smart, loyal creatures (if brought up right) and their soft wool and delightful banana-shaped ears. ^_^
